By the way, I want to conclude with one important point.

另外我想给出一个重要的观点
We learned that a vector is a quantity

我们已经知道矢量是一个
that has a magnitude and a direction.

既有大小又有方向的量
Actually, the view of vectors we take nowadays

实际上今天我们讲矢量所用的观点是
is that vectors are associated with a pair of numbers which,

矢量是和一组坐标值相对应的
on the rotation of axes, transform like this.

在坐标轴旋转的过程中像这样变换
Anything that transforms this way is called a vector.

任何以这种方式变换的都可以称为矢量
Now, I want to ask the following question.

现在我要问下一问题
Can I manufacture new vectors?

我能不能构造新的矢量
We've got one vector which is R.

我们已有的一个矢量位矢 R
How about more vectors?

其它还有哪些矢量
More position vectors? I want to look at that.

例如其它的位置矢量我想来看一下
